Project
PyBAS
The talk frames PyBAS as both a nostalgia project and a teaching tool: BASIC-style line numbers, IF/GOTO control flow, loops, and interpreter mechanics become a way to explain how programs move through code.
PyCon Indonesia 2025
Back to the Future: A Line-Numbered Python Interpreter with BASIC Flavor
A PyCon Indonesia 2025 talk about PyBAS, a lightweight BASIC language interpreter written in Python that combines retro line-numbered programming with modern Python convenience.
PDF for PyCon Indonesia 2025, covering the project context, methodology, implementation details, and outcomes.
Talk role
Presented the project and implementation ideas at PyCon Indonesia 2025, covering motivation, features, sample code, interpreter behavior, and a demo.
Talk and project details
Interpreter command for running `.pybas` programs.
